As THE 4iesr.iSsr points out ON be-
half OF the Government, IN making up
our figures of the Treasury Depart
ment. we did not give credit to the
Government for repaying portion of
the loans borrowed before the new
loan was contracted. The Govern
ment has actually paid Peter out of
Paurs pocket. The general indebt
edness Of the country has been largely
increased. but the defenders of the
Government can point TO the fact that
if they have borrowed money from
London, they have paid off a part of
what they owed in San Francisco.
What they really have done can be
easily illustrated. A man, we viii say.
owes twenty dollars, not being able
TO pay up he bOrrowS another twenty,
ten Of which he uses towards hquida-
ting his old debt and ten which he
shows round as 4 handsome balance
IN hand. That Is the kind of finance
which this country Is being treated
to. and Ii Is not q kind which viii be
OF much ultimate advantage to the
country.
Put IN the most favorable light this
country has gone astern pretty nearly
$4,000 during the past year, indeed
it has gone astern much more than
that. for there are large outstanding
accounts which might have been
charged 10 the past year, but which
VIII have TO be paid during the cur
rent period.
The current period too, has some
large bills TO meet. Thirty thousand
dollars VIII be due for interest, on
June 50th. and another thirty thou
sand on Dec. 31st. These amounts
viii undoubtedly come out of the loan,
but it Is not considered the best kind
Of finance TO pay interest out of the
principal you borrow. Then there is
$4,000 and more due to the owners
of the S. S. Madras. and there is
very large bill for the kaimiloa, say
$4,000; and the funeral expenses of
the late Princess Likelike, which are
said TO be IN the neighborhood of
$4,000 When we consider what the
running expenses of the Government
are. and the fact that the last year
showed terrible deficit, and then
contemplate the large expenditures
which VIII have to be made during
the ensuing year, the prospect Is by
no means encouraging. The shoe has
not begun to pinch as yet, but pinch
II VIII and that very seriously before
another year Is over our heads.
This Is the price We are paying for
allowing fools and knayes to govern
Us, and we shall continue to pay this
price as long as We choose 20 allow
these things TO go on There VIII be
mighty squeal one OF these days.

stuctor.
From a letter which appears in an
other column, II VIII be seen that Mr.,
Wilder desires To spend all the money
he can in the country, and Il i 70 De
hoped that it can be concluslyely
shown IL him thSt ohia wood Is dur
able enough for SleeperS The sup
plviur Of 100000 Of these articles
would mean keeping s very consider
able sum OF money right here,
The carrying ont Of this scheme Is
CoinS 70 be Of Immense benefit To the
Islands generally, and Hawaii in par
ticular. There are those, and there
VII always be such, who cannot see
the brilliant prospects ahead, but any
one who knows the Hamakua country
and its great possibilities for agrleul-
tural enterprise must feel assured that
the Hamakua railroad Is one Of the
biggest and one Of the most prOmis-
ing schemes that has ever been under
taken IN this country.
Instead Of fritteTIng the revenue OF
the country IN gold lace and foreign
missions, II the Government had de
voted itself TO developing the national
resources, this little kingdom might
be the most prosperous on the face OF
the globe, In spite OF governmental
mismsnsgement. It's private citizens
are pushing forward, but their hands
Sre somewhat tied.

Tewks At the Custom House, saying that he
had resigned his position of storekeeper, and
was going TO leave by the Discovery for the
Coast. Good joke on Tewks, Ell? But that
WAS not the worst of it. The next morning
nearly haud-oaFt full of letters was dumped
down for the Collector General, ali asking
for the vacant billet. Each letter had nu-
merous testimonials as to good character,
etc. After reading lot OF these letters and
eyeing the balance, John got mad, which
brought on = severe attack of rheumatic
govt, and he was sent home rolled up III cot
ton batting John says he did not think
there were so many patriots in town who
wished to serve their country for good

him that lie Just sat down and wrote out his
resignation. Now that he is free from the
